What Can Be The Reason For The Pain In The Chest?
My chest hurts but it doesn't feel like heartburn. It's sharp pain that make me feel like my heart is going to rip out of my chest from the lack of space. It stays for a couple of minutes and then it goes, and sometimes the pain shoots up to my throat. I'm 19 and have done all my tests and nothing seems to be the problem. What should I do?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since all your tests are negative, no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
And these factors are high in late teenage.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
